rank the 43XX series for me in order of best most accurate sound

[1audiohack]

Hello Discus!

I see that you have both 4350’s and 4355’s. I have 4350’s and have swapped crossovers and components as to make mine 4355’s in 4350 enclosures. I have never had the opportunity to hear both in short periods of time for rapid comparison.

May I ask how you perceive them differently?

Thank you Discus.
Barry.

I love the collection and am most impressed with your custom rolling stands... very nice solution!

Interesting feedback on the twin 2235 vs the 2245 bottom end comparisons. With your rolling stands you can "easily" move the speakers around for a better comparison. Most of us if we have been lucky enough to hear these systems we have only heard them in different rooms or at different times.

Hell of a collection, I see you have the M2s in your collection... I think you need to add a pair of K2-S9900s and a pair of DD67000s.

The rolling stands make playing and swapping very easy, now every single speaker in my collection has been supplied with that.The M2 are great speakers thanks to the tech evolution and to the digital tech into the Crown I- Tech with BSS digital dsp.I wanted to campare the old Dinasours with the New Technology.M2. are really fantastic, sound impressive. less directivity. BUT......"They have no Soul"the 43xx. series have that!

Hello Discus,

I concur on your comments comparing the M2 and the 43XX. Our Japanese audio friends are mad about the 43XX for good reason then. I want to try and design a custom analogue active crossover with Jfets for the M2 to see if some of that soul can be recovered. (Delay is possible with a 3rd order Bessel all pass filter).

If I have to be completely sincere, they sond very very similar, the 4355 can handle little bit more power due to the 2235H and different tubes, two large tubes instead than 6 smaller. What i really appreciare in the 4355 is the three eq knobs vs a single one on the 4350A, but I doubt I can recognize one from the other!
